Pantalette,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Edith Towner (c. 1937) This watercolor and graphite on paper artwork, titled "Pantalette," is a stunning creation by American artist Edith Towner, produced around 1937. The image transports us back to the 1930s and 1940s, a time of significant change and evolution in fashion. The artwork features a delicate and intricately designed pantalette, a type of undergarment popular during the period. The pantalette, with its white, lace-trimmed edges, is depicted hanging against a plain background, allowing the intricacies of its design to take center stage. The use of watercolor and graphite adds a sense of softness and elegance to the piece, making it a beautiful example of decorative arts from the 20th century. The pantalette, a precursor to the modern-day pantyhose, was an essential part of women's undergarments during the 1930s and 1940s. This period was marked by a shift from the heavy and restrictive undergarments of the past to more comfortable and functional designs. The pantalette represented a step towards greater freedom and comfort for women, making it an important part of the fashion and design history of the era. This artwork is a valuable addition to any collection focused on American art, fashion, or the decorative arts. It is a testament to the artistic talent and creativity of Edith Towner and serves as an intriguing glimpse into the fashion trends and design sensibilities of the 1930s and 1940s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is one of the many esteemed institutions that have recognized the significance of this piece and have included it in their collections, making it an essential part of our national heritage.
